91. Self-Cultivation of Men Who Live Off Their Husbands
Since that ambiguous conversation, everyone around them has noticed that the relationship between Zhong Li and Yan Chu seems to have become much closer. This kind of closeness is not physical, but spiritual.
As Zhong Li's secretary, Jiang Xin naturally felt the most profoundly.
"Mr. Yan, you are here to deliver dinner to the president again."
Now that Yan Chu is on the top floor, there is almost no need to make an appointment. He has two meals a day, lunch and dinner, and shows up on time.
You must know that before him, Zhong Li's diet was very irregular. When he was busy, he might not have time to eat, and he would get over it with a few cups of coffee.
As Zhong Li's secretary, Jiang Xin had not tried to dissuade her boss from harming her body, but Zhong Li kept going his own way.
Often the meals that are ordered are hot when they are delivered, but are completely cold when they are taken out, and they are basically untouched.
But Yan Chu is different. I don’t know where this little wolfdog Bao from the CEO got his skills. Every time he cooks the food, the CEO eats it again and again. As time goes by, almost every time Yan Chu is about to arrive. The company's president will start looking at her watch frequently, even if she is in a department meeting.
As a bystander, Jiang Xin felt that the male goblin was very skillful. It only took a short time to capture the president's heart.
"The president is still in a meeting, sit there and wait for a while."
The conference room and Zhong Li's office are not together. Although Yan Chu has such a relationship with his boss, Jiang Xin will not make the decision to put people in the office. You must know that there are many company secrets in Zhong Li's office. document.
Yan Chu was used to this, but before he sat down, Zhong Li came out of the conference room just after the meeting.
"I made you your favorite ham soup to see if my skills have improved."
Yan Chu followed Zhong Li into the office. Now every time he comes here, he not only gets Zhong Li's meal, but also his own. They often eat together, which is also a way to enhance their relationship.
"I have to go to an audition tomorrow, so I might not be able to come and deliver you lunch."
Yan Chu helped Zhong Li fill a bowl of soup and said.
"That play directed by He?"
Zhong Li asked with his eyes flashing.
"Um."
Yan Chu nodded.
"Director He called me yesterday and asked me if I had time to be a judge. I remember that there is a good private restaurant near the place where you are interviewing."
There was almost no emotion on Zhong Li's face, but her red ears betrayed her mood at this time.
In fact, although Apocalypse is the largest investment in He Anxin's movie, it is not the largest investment among Zhong Li's recent large investments. As a CEO with many things to do, there is no need for Zhong Li to waste money on actor auditions. time.
Even if you want to exercise your rights as an investor, you only need to send an assistant there.
But Zhong Li thought that he had eaten so many meals in vain, so he had to express his gratitude. If he went there, he could at least let others know that he valued Yan Chu. If his performance was acceptable and he was present, It can also increase his leverage.
Zhong Li thought a lot about Yan Chu, but she didn't say it outright, as if she had made this plan long ago.
But Yan Chu was not stupid. Why couldn't he see Zhong Li's softening attitude towards him, so he smiled while holding the bowl.
It was those eye-catching big white teeth again. The corners of Zhong Li's mouth turned up slightly. Did he think he was White Rabbit Toffee? His smile was so sweet and he wanted to seduce her.
*****
That night, for the first time, Zhong Li followed Yan Chu to the large flat-floor apartment where she let Yan Chu live temporarily. It wasn't until she put on the fluffy slippers that Yan Chu bought for her at the revolving door and stood in that room that Zhong Li later realized Later I realized why I followed him back.
The two of them still have a supportive relationship. They are a single man and a widow, living in the same room. Zhong Li can't help but think a little far.
She has many houses, almost all over the country at home and abroad. Some of them are for her to live in when she travels on business, and some are for investment.
This house is very close to Tianqi Entertainment. She originally planned to live there temporarily when she occasionally worked overtime. Later, she found that it was most convenient to live in the company when she worked overtime. She hired a specialized design team to renovate this house and never lived in it again. Pass.
The originally cold and empty room suddenly felt more like home because of the addition of an additional owner.
The main colors of the room are gray and black, and suddenly some small decorations in warm colors are added, making the house less design-y and more cozy.
On the balcony, there were several pots of green plants in the living room, and Zhong Li couldn't help but pinch the cute succulents with his hands.
The living room, bedroom, and bathroom are very clean, and everything is arranged in an orderly manner. It can be seen that the owner of the house is a man who is very organized and planned.
Of course, what makes Zhong Li most embarrassed is the master bedroom where Yan Chu currently lives. The place where the TV wall should have been is now missing a TV. Instead, there is an extra photo that takes up almost half of the wall. She is the person in the photo.
Zhong Li didn't stay in that room for long before he came out, just as Yan Chu also came out of the kitchen.
"I forgot that the food in the kitchen has almost been used up this afternoon. It seems that I have to go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and eggs."
Yan Chu picked up the car keys at the entrance and said to Zhong Li.
Zhong Li's driver dropped them off and left. It would obviously take a long time to call them over now. Besides, the supermarket is very close to the apartment, so it won't take long to get there.
"I'll go with you."
Zhong Li has never been to the supermarket since she was a child. When she was a child, her family had a nanny and they didn't lack anything. When she grew up and went abroad, in order to complete her studies as soon as possible, Zhong Li also hired a nanny locally. She didn't cook like many international students. She spent more time in the library or dealing with some assets available under her name.
For her, the money she earned from the time she saved was enough to hire hundreds of nannies.
Yan Chu looked at the key of the electric donkey in his hand, and then looked at Zhong Li in a high-end suit. He hesitated for a while and nodded.
******
On the main road, Yan Chu drove his latest popular milky white cow electric donkey. Behind him sat a woman wearing a black and gray striped suit, sitting upright, as if she was not driving an electric donkey, but a high-end car.
It was the first time for Zhong Li to ride this kind of transportation. She had nowhere to put her long legs in five-centimeter high heels, and she curled up in grievance. Because there was no handhold, she wrapped her arms around Yan Chu's waist. However, after several vibrations from the shock-absorbing belt, this virtual hug turned into a real hug.
The spring shirt was only a thin piece of clothing. Sticking to the layer of fabric, Zhong Li could clearly feel how strong and sturdy the young man who was driving her was at the moment, and how hot and scorching the skin was that was tightly pressed against her.
The supermarket was very close to the apartment, and it only took five or six minutes to get there by driving a small electric donkey.
"You are also a signed artist of Tianqi now. Regardless of whether Director He's audition is passed or not, there will always be no shortage of endorsements for future activities. Tomorrow I will ask the company's finance department to provide you with a nanny car, which is always more convenient for traveling."
After getting off the back seat, Zhong Li walked several steps before she felt that the sore muscles in her legs had become better.
"I have several cars in the company garage that I don't drive much on weekdays. When you go to the company in a few days, take a look. If you like any car, tell Secretary Jiang. She has the key."
As expected, all CEOs, regardless of gender, are so generous. Yan Chu feels that at this level, he should be considered a legitimate concubine, but it is obviously not enough.
"Do you have a driver's license?"
Zhong Li remembered that he had not asked the other party this question.
"Yes, I learned it at the end of the college entrance examination. It has been two or three years, and I have never practiced it."
There are few college students who can't drive now. Almost all of them learned it during the period after the college entrance examination. The conditions of the Yan family were average before Yan's father got sick. There were three people in the family, two electric donkeys and a bicycle. His parents thought about raising money to buy him a cheap second-hand car for transportation after his son graduated. Now he is sick, all the money is spent on medical treatment, and even the house has been sold, so naturally they will not think about buying a car.
"It doesn't matter, practice more and you will get the hang of it. Then I will let Uncle Wang take you for a few days."
The Uncle Wang she mentioned is her full-time driver.
The two of them entered the supermarket while talking. Zhong Li was calm throughout the whole process, as if he was the kind of person who often went to the supermarket and was very familiar with this place.
Yan Chu had been helping Zhong Li cook these days, and he was already very familiar with the supermarket. He went straight to the fresh fruit and vegetable area.
Zhong Li didn't know how to choose vegetables, so she went to the dairy products area to pick out fresh milk.
She didn't see the brand she usually drank in the supermarket, so she picked up the most expensive brand of fresh milk.
"Wait."
Yan Chu took the fresh milk from Zhong Li's hand.
"This bottle is about to expire."
He reached out to the innermost shelf and took out the fresh milk. The expiration date was indeed two days fresher than the date on Zhong Li's hand. Generally speaking, the expiration date of fresh milk is only four or five days, and two days is a big difference.
"There are tricks to placing items in supermarkets. For dairy products with a short shelf life, the closer they are to the expiration date, the farther they are placed outside. The freshest ones are placed at the innermost part. This is also to sell the items that are about to expire as soon as possible."
Yan Chu said to Zhong Li. Seeing that she liked to drink fresh milk, he helped her get another brand. That brand was not as expensive as the one she had, but it tasted better.
"I think today's purple cabbage is quite fresh. I'll go back and make a cold dish. It's sour and refreshing. You like it too. The millet at home is almost gone, so I weighed some. I'll fry a sea bass and have a lighter soup. I'm a little greasy at noon, so I'll eat these lighter ones at night."
Yan Chu calculated the things he had just bought and asked Zhong Li if she wanted to eat anything else.
"Ah, your husband is very attentive."
An old lady was also picking fresh vegetables. The male owner was doing the housework in an orderly manner. If it were not strange for the older generation, the men here would be responsible for buying, washing and cooking. However, it was rare to see such a careful and considerate young man in the younger generation. I couldn't help but praise him a few times and felt that Zhong Li was a good couple.
Husband?
Zhong Li wanted to explain.
"Mother-in-law, our daughter-in-law supports the family. If I don't hurry up to coax her, what will happen if my daughter-in-law runs away?"
Yan Chu stopped Zhong Li from talking and joked with the old lady.
Women are responsible for the outside and men are responsible for the inside. This is also rare in the new era. Moreover, many men do not earn as much as their wives, but they still think that they have made great contributions, or they think that their wives have lost their face and act like a big boss.
The old lady was able to talk about this matter so proudly, and looked proud that his wife could make money. At such an old age, she really only saw Yan Chu.
"You should, you should, be nice to your wife."
The mother-in-law had a few teeth missing and her words were leaky. She smiled brightly at Yan Chu and Zhong Li.
